Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Martin Kletzander 7938401848 CVE-2013-6436: fix crash in lxcDomainGetMemoryParameters
The function doesn't check whether the request is made for active or
inactive domain.  Thus when the domain is not running it still tries
accessing non-existing cgroups (priv->cgroup, which is NULL).

I re-made the function in order for it to work the same way it's qemu
counterpart does.

Reproducer:
 1) Define an LXC domain
 2) Do 'virsh memtune <domain>'

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
